Managing Change (e-learning) CPPD

Course Information

Course Content

The managing change module is structured to provide you with a holistic understanding of the principles and practices of change management in healthcare environments. The module provides a fundamental knowledge of the theoretical concepts and models underpinning change management. Equipped with this, you will be encouraged to critically evaluate and apply these concepts to a range of health services settings at strategic, organisational and individual levels.

On completion of the module, you will have acquired a broad knowledge base that allows you to understand, participate in and manage change in healthcare organisations.

The module aims to:

Help you to understand and critically evaluate the motives and drivers on which organisational change is predicated

Equip you with an overview and understanding of the theories and concepts which are the basis of successful management of organisational change

Allow you to think reflectively about your own ability to tolerate and manage change

Enable you to critical evaluate espoused theories and models and thereafter to construct change strategies within the limitations of such theories and models

Allow you to reconcile the hard pragmatics of change with the softer human skills required for successful and sustainable change.
